PSG.LGD

• Victory in a match with Thunder Awaken 2:0
• Victory in the match with the Royal Never Give Up team 2:0
• Victory in a match with the Outsiders team 2:0

The Chinese team PSG.LGD showed the best performance among all the participants of the Major. Out of 16 maps, Ame and the team won 15 (93.75% win rate). Soniqs took their only card. PSG.LGD players used 46 heroes, the highest number among all participants. The most popular heroes are Razor (6), Chen (5), Dazzle (4). Future participants of The International 2022 are clearly aiming to earn $200,000.

BOOM Esports

Results of recent matches:

• Draw in the match with Team Aster 1:1
• Draw in the match with Team Spirit 1:1
• Victory in the match with Natus Vincere 2:0

BOOM Esports became a pleasant discovery of group B. Unlike their colleagues from Talon Esports, the team managed to reach the upper bracket from the 4th place, beating Evil Geniuses, for example. The team has a map win percentage of 50% (7 wins, 7 losses). Skem and his teammates used 33 heroes. The most used were Rubick, Mars and Ember Spirit (5 times). BOOM didn't have any luck with the seeding, so they will probably work their way through the lower bracket, as PSG.LGD looks like too much of a challenge for Southeast Asians.

Team Spirit

Results of recent matches:

• Victory in the match with Natus Vincere 2:0
• Draw in a match with BOOM Esports 1:1
• Draw in the match with the Entity team 1:1

Team Spirit showed a confident performance, losing only to Evil Geniuses. The International 10 champions won 9 out of 14 maps (64.29% win rate). YATOROGOD and the team used 40 different heroes. The most popular characters were Snapfire, Tiny (5), Mars and Dazzle (4). Team Spirit should get DPC points at this tournament and go directly to the World Championship.

Evil Geniuses

Results of recent matches:

• Lost in a match with the Entity team with a score of 0:2
• Victory in the match with Natus Vincere 2:0
• Draw in the match with Tundra Esports 1:1

Evil Geniuses started the group stage extremely poorly, having suffered two defeats in a row. Then the players got together and started showing a relatively good game, but the moment had already been lost. Evil Geniuses have won 6 maps out of 14 played, with a win rate of 42.86%. The team played on 36 heroes. The most commonly used were Puck (7) and Tusk (5). Given the unstable performance of the roster, it will be a good result for EG to get into the top 8 of the tournament.

beastcoast

Results of recent matches:

• Draw in the match with Tundra Esports 1:1
• Draw in the match with the Entity team 1:1
• Draw in the match with Team Aster 1:1

The club from South America was not initially considered as a candidate for the championship. The team left the group, which is already considered a good achievement. Beastcoast won 6 out of 14 maps and played 39 heroes. Their most popular picks were Snapfire and Puck (5). The team has already directly passed to The International 2022, so if StingeR and his teammates take a place in the top 12, then there will be nothing surprising in this.

entity

Results of recent matches:

• Winning the match with Evil Geniuses 2:0
• Draw in the match with beastcoast 1:1
• Draw in the match with Team Spirit 1:1

Entity pleasantly surprised us with their performance in the group stage. Despite the fact that they have SabeRLight- as a substitute. The third position player acts as a carry. They do a good job, it's worth noting. The team won 9 maps out of 14 (64.29% win rate). The club has the smallest hero pool among all the playoff participants - 26. Most often, the players used Chen (8), Tiny (6), Zeus, Winter Wyvern and Puck (5). If the team does not slow down, it may qualify for the top 6 or even higher.

Team Aster

Results of recent matches:

• Draw in a match with BOOM Esports 1:1
• Victory in the match with the Tundra Esports team 2:0
• Draw in the match with beastcoast 1:1

Team Aster are the second Chinese team to finish the group stage unbeaten. 10 wins out of 14 maps played bring Aster the second winning percentage of all teams - 71.43%. Silver medalists of DPC CN 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division I played 33 heroes, and the most requested heroes were Tiny (7), Dazzle (5), Puck and Winter Wyvern (4). Monet and his partners are candidates for a place in the top 4 of the Major.

Royal Never Give Up

Results of recent matches:

• Draw in the match with Team Liquid 1:1
• Lost in a match with the PSG.LGD team with a score of 0:2
• Winning the match with the OG team 2:0

The winners of the regional league in China disappointed with their performance in Group A. Their performance may have been influenced by the presence of ana, who replaced Ghost. The reason may lie both in the form of ana itself, and the language barrier. Royal Never GIve Up won half of all maps, 8 out of 16. Players used 45 heroes, Viper (5), Nyx Assassin and Winter Wyvern (4) were popular. Before the start of the tournament, RNG were considered as one of the favorites of the championship, but now getting into the top 6 will already be an excellent result.

Outsiders

Results of recent matches:

• Victory in the match with the Soniqs team 2:0
• Winning the match with the OG team 2:0
• Lost in a match with the PSG.LGD team with a score of 0:2

The Russian team confidently passed the group, losing only to PSG.LGD. The team won on 10 maps out of 16 (62.50% win rate). Outsiders played 33 heroes, mostly using Marci (7), Tiny (6), Doom and Batrider (5). The club has a good chance of getting into the top 6 if it continues to perform in the same spirit.

OG

Results of recent matches:

• Victory in the match with the Talon Esports team 2:0
• Lost in a match with the Outsiders team with a score of 0:2
• Victory in a match with Thunder Awaken 2:0

The champions of The International 2019 and The International 2018 approached the tournament in good shape, albeit with one forced replacement in the person of Ceb. But with him, the team has already won ESL One Stockholm 2022. OG won on 9 out of 16 maps, using 40 different characters. Most often, Yuragi and his partners played Earthshaker (7), Marci and Io (6). This time with the game they somehow did not ask. Unstable game. If the team fails to get together, then it is unlikely that they will be able to repeat the result of the previous Major.

Team Liquid

Results of recent matches:

• Draw in the match with Royal Never Give Up 1:1
• Draw in a match with Thunder Awaken 1:1
• Draw in the match with Talon Esports 1:1

The silver medalists of the DPC WEU 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division I played the group stage rather mediocrely for their level. MATUMBAMAN and the team won 7 maps out of 16. Their pool consisted of 40 heroes. Most often players used Marci (6) and Tiny (5). With such a game, Team Liquid can both get into the top 8 and fly out in the very first match of the lower bracket.

Fnatic

Results of recent matches:

• Draw in the match with Talon Esports 1:1
• Victory in the match with the Soniqs team 2:0
• Victory in the match with Team Liquid 2:0

The team from Southeast Asia pleasantly surprised with their performance, losing only to PSG.LGD. All other rivals DJ and the team won at least one card. It is worth noting that this is the case when massive replacements benefited the team. Fnatic are playing with 3 subs, namely TSM players. The players won on 9 maps out of 16. The team pool was 36 characters. Warlock (8), Puck (6), Tusk and Marci (5) became frequent guests of their picks. Fnatic have every chance to get into the top 8 of the PGL Arlington Major.

Recall that the PGL Arlington Major takes place from 4 to 14 August this year. The top 17 teams from around the world compete for a $500,000 prize pool and 4,570 DPC points. The winner will receive the main prize of $200,000 and 820 DPC points.
